Villager Praised for Returning Elephant Tusk

A man named Maniram Boro found a broken elephant tusk in the forest.

Instead of keeping it, he decided to give it to the forest department.

He contacted his relative, a former forest officer, who helped him hand over the tusk.

The forest officer praised Maniram for his honest act.

This is the second time a broken tusk has been found in this forest.

The first time, two other people found a tusk and also gave it to the forest department.

The forest has been a home for wild elephants since 2016, and sometimes they lose their tusks while looking for food.
